This is awful news. I don’t really know what to say. I love the sport, I was a high school wrestler and it never got the respect it deserved. What has this world come to? All you see on prime time is swimming, gymnastics, and track n field. This is very upsetting…

damn. If they gave the wrestling portion of the Olympics as much airtime as the crappy boxing (rigged in many cases)then more people may care about it. it was the first and main sport of the 1st Olympiads in Greece in, what, 1902 or ’04? Sad sad day.
